It is a common, well known fact that it was not only the Jewish who were tortured and killed during the holocaust, but some people don't exactly know who these people are. The countries that were affected by this war were Czechoslovakia, Holland, France, Hungary, Ukraine, and surprisingly Germany. These people were murdered for beliefs, race, sexual orientation, if your were an interracial child, being mentally unstable, or if you didn't go along with hitlers plan for domination. Some were forced to wear specific labels on their clothing to state if they were homosexual, or if you were a member of Jehovah Witnesses. Homosexuals had to wear upside down pink triangles and Jehovah Witnesses had to wear purple armbands. Adolf Hitler even searched and had members of his own army sent to centration camps for these reasons. (Pencak)
Mentally handicapped victims were normally subjected to lethal injections in a hospital, put down like a dog. Others were either gassed, starved, died from disease, or were forced to go through horrendous medical experiments. Most of these medical experiments were done on multi-racial children without anesthesia. All the others were normally gassed or starved. Some concentration camps made signs that said work will set you free, that wasn't the case. They were forced to strip from their clothing and take a "sterolization" shower, little did most know that these "shower heads" produced lethal gas instantly killing all who are inside the chamber. Their bodies were disposed in graves filled with many bodies without the security of a coffin.
